Threading Hair Removal
It’s fast, less painful, and gets the really small hairs…Threading has been used to remove unwanted facial hair since ancient times. Now popular with Hollywood celebrities, it’s an ancient method also commonly used in India, Pakistan and the Middle East. When properly done, it can be used to shape the eyebrows with a clean defining edge. It can also be used to remove hair from the upper and lower lip as well as other areas of the face.

Eyelash Perming
This is a permanent method of curling your eyelashes. Curled eyelashes will enhance the appearance of the eyes for a period lasting up to 8 weeks. This treatment does not replace eyelash tinting and will in fact complement it. Your Powder Lounge Attendant will apply a skin test prior to the treatment especially if it is your first treatment or you have any history of eye disorders or allergies.

Q – How do I know this is a safe treatment?

Q - Why is the treatment only lasting 8 weeks?


Eyelash Brow Tinting
All lashes are slightly white at the roots and tips, which is why lash tinting makes them look so much longer. This treatment will add colour to the client’s eyelashes and/or eyebrows. A permanent tint is carefully applied to the lashes and left on for 5-10minutes. The tint is removed and the client is then free to wear additional makeup if so wished. The life cycle of the eyelash and eyebrow hair is approximately 6-8weeks therefore, after this period of time the hair will have returned to its original colour. The treatment can be repeated on a regular basis, on average every 6-8 weeks. The Powder Lounge Attendant will apply a skin test to new clients prior to the treatment. This will need to be given at a minimum of 24 hours prior to the actual treatment.

Q - Can you tell me the colours available for this treatment?

Q - Will the tint come off when I apply mascara, remove make-up or come into contact with water?


Eyebrow Shaping
Shaping the eyebrows enables anyone to instantly improve and update their look. It is used to enhance the shape of your eyes and create a tidy, polished appearance. This treatment is quick, simple and less painful than doing it yourself. For those who are long-sighted it is the ideal solution. Depending on the rate of your hair growth you will need to repeat this treatment every 2-4 weeks. At The Powder Lounge we can provide a total re-shape or a brow clean up, depending on the clients’ needs.

Q - I have a space in my right eyebrow where the eyebrow hairs do not grow, how could the therapist improve this shape?


False Eyelashes
False eyelashes can be applied in a strip or individually to the eyes. Professionally applied lashes will create a longer and fuller appearance of your own lashes and can be as natural to look at as you wish.

Strip lashes are fashionable and are available in all natural colours and some wacky bright colours. They are temporary, normally removed at the end of the day after that special occasion.

Individual lashes are available in natural hair colours and of different lengths and thickness. They are applied to the base of the natural lashes and if cared for will last up to a week.

False eyelashes enhance the eye shape and maximise the eyelashes without the use of mascara. Individual lashes will also survive water. They are wonderful for that special occasion and when applied professionally the risk of them falling in your soup during dinner is avoided!

Q - I would love to wear false eyelashes but am afraid that they would be easily seen, have you any advice?

Q - Are the lashes easy to remove at home?


Mini Head massage
This relaxing treatment removes tension and stress, as well as promoting good scalp and hair health. When the scalp is loose, blood is able to flow freely and feed the roots. This increased blood circulation strengthens the hair root and promotes health and shine to the hair. Massage is a powerful therapy that promotes physical, mental and spiritual health, and The Powder Lounge’s Mini Head Massage will ease the strain and tension gathered in the head and neck, bringing back a little of your joie de vivre!


Before Threading
We know it’s tempting, but for a better result try to resist the urge to pluck your eyebrows for at least 1 week before your brow shape. Our trained and experienced therapists will advise you of the best brow shape to complement your unique features, and give you gorgeous brows, to perfectly frame your face.


Aftercare
After each treatment, the customer is advised of the best method of after-care to maintain the look they have achieved at The Powder Lounge and also issued with a retro-style little collective ‘Glam-Hints’ keepsake card to take away with them - a token of The Powder Lounge’s sexy, ultra-feminine, Hollywood boudoir vibe, giving hints on how to achieve Hollywood style glamour every day.
